Today Mom and I had a nice mother-son morning and afternoon. We got some fresh air while running errands, including a trip to the bank and the hair salon for a wash before our trip to see the doc tomorrow and remove the now-unnecessary staples. Mark and Maggie came back from their overnight business trip to scenic Omaha (sounded like a successful one!), we all ate dinner together as a family, and eventually made our way to bed over the next few hours.
Lately, it feels like someone is always awake in the family, no matter the time of day. Abigail had a break of dawn commute back to St. Louis on Monday, Mark and his co-pilot Maggie have gone everywhere from Cincy to Omaha, Luke has traveled nearly cross-country from San Diego, Dad works early to get home early, and Mom has been spotted roaming the house at all hours of the night. All of our minds have been going a mile a minute, thinking about each other when at home, and thinking about how soon we can get home when we are away.
But tomorrow I know we’re all excited to get up to St. Louis, where Abigail lives and works and Luke has been waiting since his flight landed today, to see the entire family together for the first time in a very long week and a half. Mom is excited to get to St. Louis, but still not letting that cloud her planning “Mom” mode. She constantly reminds Mark and Dad to drive the speed limit, and tonight told us to make sure we packed tooth brushes – just in case we ended up sleeping in the Mr. Fuel parking lot again. Love you Mom.
Goodnight everyone.
